Thanks for the pics. ^^
*has strange urge to push Hizumi off ledge into water*

Yeah... I toyed with the idea of getting the photobook but didn't. :x
Buying all the jrock stuff I want is impossible.
I'm currently saving up for Gazette's singles and alice nine's single. Darn them... >.>
But it's always the shipping that kills me.

^Yea I hate shipping. That's why I always order frm YesAsia because shipping is free in orders over $25. And even though the original price of the CDs is more expensive than CDJapan, once you count in the free shipping, it turns out to be less expensive.

I wonder if D'espa will release a new single (that's not tour only) or new album soon.

DENG is it just me or do they look goth..

they play gothic rock

^ LoL

Yea they are a gothic rock group and I love it hehehe.

^I would if I wasn't neck deep in work. I'm lazy so if I got a job I think I would fail all my courses. Yes i'm pretty useless.

Here's a link to a random report that was pretty amazing. This girl stayed at the same hotel as D'espa and also had backstage passes

EDITED Link: http://www.plaindespa.de.ms/

Go to Reports then click on Kendra's (sorry about that)

^ haha yeah me to. So is my aunt that's why she's a buissn grr never knew how to spell buissiness women... XD

That seems cool so where do you go from http://www.plaindespa.de.ms/ because that link didn't work... Or wait which report is it?

^ oopsies sorry. Apparently the link doesnt work anymore. Just go to the main page and click "Reports" then click on "Kendra's" report. It's pretty cool.

2006-11-11: D'espairsRay - Islington - Carling Academy Islington

Ahahaha today was fcuking awesome, my friend caught zeros water bottle and her sis got his pic, all i got was a free signed cd from the support band....who weren't really all that good =( but o well, im just so happy i got to see them, =D

^Wahhhh so lucky!!

aren't they amazingly good live?
Hizumi is hot. His vocals live are really good!!

Hizumi has one of the hottest/deepest/unique vocals in the history of jrock <3 I swear to god, his voice is mesmerizing, not matter how many times I listen to it o_o he has a natural talent <3
--Yumi

I feel like I'm one of the luckiest people in the world.

I'll see Despa in Hamburg and once again two days later in Kopenhagen. Its a birthday-present for myself, because I thought it would be nice to party into my 30th birthday with four amazing japanese guys like D'espairs Ray.

I'll give you a detailed report afterwards, I promise. I hope I get do take a few photos...as I'll be member of the press in Hamburg...don't kill me, please...I get to do an interview, it's all confirmed.

^ Amber! *tears* you ARE really really lucky.
So far there are only two bands that I would do anything to see live: D'espa and Diru.
And you actually get to talk to D'espa!
Please let us see/read the interview when you are done! ^^
I hope they'll be back in America soon. They seem to like it here lol.

*hugs* Sure...it will be recorded on audio, because it's for the radio-project I'm a member of...depending on how much material I'll have in the end, I'll have to edit it before it goes on air...but as I said, I'll give you a detailed report afterwards.

I'm sooo happy it finally works out...after all the trouble I had with Diru in early summer...first they said yes, then they said no...I already had everything prepared for the interview...same with the interview I had planned with Onmyou-za...it was canceled last minute...now I'm praying that all will be fine with Despa...I REALLY want to meet those guys.

They're in Germany for the third time now...seems it's not too bad here, either.

^ Hahaha I think many JRock bands like Germany!

I hope your interview goes well! From what I hear, they are a bunch of cool guys who are really nice so i'm sure everything will be awesome!

Yep, they do. So far every band that came here said they will come back.



*nods* I've heard the same...and I'm really looking forwart to meeting them. I'm sooooo excited...I'm counting the days till next wednesday when I take off for Hamburg...

fgvcfffdfswesdfdssfghhhhhfddsf i can't use my keyboard <.<>.>
*currently types by clicking on on-screen kb*
gomennasai >< actually i wanna say...

Sugoi! Amber-sama >O<
*bows**bows**bows**bows**bows**bows**bows**bows**bows*

is there anything i can do to make you get Hizumi-sama's autograph for me? ;-;
do you want my soul? (つ´Δ｀)つ~~~
uwahhh...no ;-; sorry T-T i can't +_+ since i've already given it to Hyde-sama 10 years ago ><
T^T
T_T
TOT
sorry to be such annoying ><

but wow! that's a great chance xD &working in the press! sugoiii! do you want a scientist working with you? lol oh well i know the answer T-T so just ignore me...

thank you in advance for your report and Happy Birthday!
wahh...my finger hurts...

Aaahhhh, ne, don't say Amber-sama... no need to...makes me feel old.



You're not annoying! *hugs* I have to see myself if they sign something for me...I really want them to sign my ConHon...BAAL signed it last week and I have autographs from Electric Eel Shock in my old one...



Yeah, it's great...I can't say how excited I am...when I had the confirmation e-mail in my inbox I was squealing and jumping and I couldn't stop hugging my best friend who sat beside me learning Kanji. She'll join me for the interview as my personal assistant, in exchange I'll stay at her place for the night before the concert and we go to Kopenhagen together to see Despa again...

I'm so glad for this chance...my colleagues fron Campus-Radio are all making fun of me because I'm such a freak in their eyes...they know nothing about japan or j-rock apart from what I tell them.

^HONTOOOOOO??? xD muchas gracias xD thank you so much *feels happy* xD *hugs back* but dw if you can't get it for me =] just tell them (only if you get a chance to) that there's a Thai fangirl who swears2 herself getting to watch D'espairsRay's live Once in her life (which means she tries to save her money for going to japan) ;-; thank you again, Amber-chan =D
what's ConHon btw? o.O;;
><
*-* your friend *-* is *-* so lucky *-*
i think i know what you feel coz ppl around me is kinda like that +_+
xD i just told esti about that and we went crazy from your news xD
have fun on your bday & enjoy their live ^O^ like to the max! xD

I'll see, what I can do. I have half an hour to talk to the guys and do my interview...hopefully there'll be enough time to take some pictures and get stuff signed.



A ConHon is a book with blank pages that you take with you to conventions and gatherings to let other people sign it and/or draw something into.

These are mine:



The big green one is full, the small one is the one I'll take with me.



*nods* I'm glad I have some friends around me that are as crazy about j-rock as I am.

Oh, you bet I will! I know how I said on new years eve that 2006 will be MY year...and it seems I was right...funny though that the best things happen now as the year comes slowly to an end. *laughs*

^uwahh...that time is not enough to do all those stuff (including the excited speechless moment when you firstly meet them xD)


Ohh i see xD and whoa one of them is full? Sugoi! xD i don't have any ConHon but it's good idea to get one xD except i don't have time to go to any event/con T__T plus ppl i met& wanted their autographs latlely were well-known professors -__- yeah..i am a nerd lol

Do your best, Get the glory, Amber-chan xD

I would just like to second that. XD

I'm expecting D'espa to come back to the US sometime next year (or I'll cry, lmao).
But lucky all of you who saw them recently. T____T

And Amber (... XD can I call you that?) lucky lucky you. I actually was going to add about 832349374982 more 'lucky's to that sentence but I think you get the point. LMAO! Have fun.

I'm so jealous right now...

*laughs* Well...I get past that speechless moment quite fast by now...I already have a little routine dealing with bands and other celebrities, one of the advantages when you work as a journalist.



*laughs* Oh, I know those, too! Still waiting for one of my professors to finally sign something for me.

I LOVE going to conventions and other events...and I guess I'm lucky that german fans are very well organized.



*bows* Arigatou!



*hugs* Sure, call me Amber. I'm so used to being called Amber by now that I sometimes confuse it with my real firstname...

And thanks. *hugs again*

Yea D'espa should do a full tour in the US ^^
That would be awesome.

Ahhh i miss them now, i want to follow them on the rest of their tour =(

Whoa..*currently has that speechless moment* lol It's way awesome! xD wahh...it's kinda late for me to change my major right now ;-; lol anyway, good luck for getting your professor's signature ne~

Since I'm back to procrastinate as usual *coughs* i made this awesome ava



Hizumi desu ^O^

>< don't kill me because of that >< i'm a newbie at photoshopping +_+ gomen ><;;

*laughs* I hope I can continue with journalism when I change my major...I'll change to japanology next year.

Thanks...I'll know on tuesday whether it's time to panic because he didn't sign or if I'm lucky...



Hey...I like it! *saves*

I don't have any creativity at the moment to do graphics of any sort. Maybe when I'm back from Kopenhagen...my inspiration will be back from it's month long holiday.

http://www.jmusiceuropa.com/uk/article.php?id=1349

A new interview on JAME. I love their interviews ^^
It has pics too. They are so hot. I miss them!

Yes they are against making "fluffy pop music"
I'll love them forever lol.

And YES new album next year!

LoL Amber when you interview them please let them know that fans in US are waiting for a tour too!

Wow, thanks for that link! *hugs*

Darn...almost the same questions I have on my list...but oh well...it will still be different, bacause it's for radio.



Sure. They seem pretty much aware that they have lots of fans all over the world. But I'll tell them, I promise!

Getting more and more nervous every day. And with every interview I read I feel more and more like they've answered the questions dozens of times already...*sighs* But at the same time it feels like they are really nice to talk to...god, why is it still such a long time until thursday...*sighs*

^Thanks! And no worries! I'm sure there are questions that they are always asked and they expect them to be asked. From interviews that I have read they seem to be laid back and they like to actually give lengthy answers (instead of just saying "yes" or "no"). You can probably even ask them silly questions and they will answer in earnest. Maybe you can ask them the things they eat lol or what they don't like about touring (instead of asking things that they DO like). I'll be hoping the best for your interview. Just go and have fun!

*nods* I think you're right. I just tend to be so insecure about myself...it's one of my bad habits. Just like me constantly worrying about what to wear...I spend almost the whole day today at the sewing machine completing another outfit. Which makes a grand total of four outfits now.

Oh and I'm SO looking forward to seeing Zero's face when we put one of those on the table:

^Hahaha OMG I LOVE Coke Zero. It's the best. That could be a gift for him!

Nice Gaze pics by the way

We'll see...I'll buy a few bottles and a friend of mine wants one signed by the band...I promised to try and get the band to sign one of the bottles for her.



Thanks. Spent my last money on buying them...it's one of the official photo-sets they sold at the concerts this summer.

i love the song Garnet =D

i dont really know much about them~ i love his voice <3333333

OMG! *dies from jealous* T__T lucky youuuu

Thank you so much for the link, precious4e

Whoa..cool Coke Zero xD
hope they'll all come for the interview ;-;
good luck, Amber-chan!

hi anna!
my first time posting here..
despa is indeed awesome. ^___^

LOL@Coke Zero, that would be a cool gift.
just like how i gave my friend henry an Oh Henry! candy bar for his bday lolol.

^ fancy seeing you here shirley. You get more D'espa music yet?

It would be awesome to get Zero to sin the Coke Zero bottle. I think he will do it ^^

^i have their entire discography, except their coll:set album. :<
can anybody upload it for me?
much appreciated ^___^

Arigatou! *bows* Counting down the days...and still soooo much to prepare...*sighs* half of my outfits are finished.







It's exactly what I hope for...and a good friend of mine begged me to get a bottle signed for her.



Will do. I'll post the link as soon as it's uploaded, ne?

^thanks! your the best

*bows* Always happy to share.

Go here to get it.

kaka, im gonna add you to my live journal.. not that i go on it much...
